According to the Taiwanese constitution, Taiwan & China are
one. FYI, Taiwan's official name is Republic of China.

International organizations such as the United Nations officially acknowledge the "One China Policy," which is why Taiwan doesn't have a seat at the UN table.

Aside from a dozen or so small countries (mostly Caribbean islands) every other nation on the face of this earth, including the United States & its military base & brothel, South Korea, officially acknowledges the "One China Policy."

Unlike "the old days" (is this a reference to the parts of the Ming & Qing dynasties during which Korea was a vassal state subordinate to China?), contemporary China doesn't want or need to make Korea their "red-headed stepchild b1tch" when the South Korean government does such a good job of pimping out its own women to its American oppas.


"In 2022, the [South Korean] women won a court ruling against their own government. South Korea's Supreme Court ordered the government to compensate dozens of women for the trauma they endured as "comfort women for the U.S. military," as they were once known."

Yeah, but I can't express my grievances to the original source directly.

As I said, in retrospect, I should've taken it more easy.

Again, thanks for your thoughts.

Oh, I was just making an observation of what I see as MDL K-drama bias. I just think 3 C-netz segments involving one, single K-drama seem excessive. I guess I should've taken it more easy when I first started posting here. But alas, I fell into the rabbit hole and one thing led to another. Thanks for your take of the situation.

Even if true, so what?

Chinese entertainment companies operate on business models designed to maximize revenue & minimize risk. They use very advanced proprietary algorithms to accomplish this. They're not trying to suppress CY, or any other Chinese actor, for that matter.

Saying that C-ent platforms are suppressing this or that Chinese actor is as silly as saying that Netflix is suppressing this or that actor everytime it doesn't recommend said actor's dramas to its subscribers.

I appreciate your support of CY and all, but you're not helping him any by complaining about something that isn't true, and even if true, isn't something within your control, let alone will change any time in the foreseeable future.

Sigh. I wasn't being sarcastic. I was trying to pay you a compliment by suggesting I agree with you.

Not sure why you threw it back in my face. Maybe I was wrong to call you a "voice of reason," I guess.

Hi, @ra111ster. Remember me?

Cheng Yi is what led me to that rabbit hole. You see, Lily Alice wrote a couple of CY articles that didn't quite sit well with me. So I tried to look up this author's MDL background. Turns out she doesn't have a single C-drama on her watchlist; they were all Kdramas. It was sus, to say the least.

So I checked out her article about K-drama Tempest, which highlighted C-netz as the center of controversy. That's how I ended up there. Since then, she's written two other similar articles. Why not just write articles about the K-drama itself? Why keep bringing C-netz into it?

Wow...a voice of reason. I forgot I was on MDL for a second.

It makes sense.

Any reasonably intelligent, objective observer (by definition & default excluding koreaboos) can see who lacks reading comprehension & thinks like "sheep" and who doesn't.

1) I am not a Chinese citizen. I am an international C-drama fan;

2) I never said you said free speech is controlled in the whole world, I said you said the Chinese citizens THINK free speech is controlled in the whole world, which you did. Here are your words verbatim: "LoL Chinese THINK [my emphasis] free speech is controlled in the whole world by a one-party autocracy through chinese firewalls." This leads to a self-defeating argument because you say elsewhere that the Chinese are using VPN, which would lead them to think what is contrary to what you accuse them of thinking;

3) Has it ever occurred to you that millions of Chinese citizens study, work, & travel abroad, so can easily access Disney+ content without using VPN (legally or illegally)? Also, they can log onto Chinese social media from abroad. So can the millions of Chinese diaspora. So can international C-drama fans (including myself).

I used to be under the mistaken impression that the South Korean government was just looking the other way. I didn't know that it was pro-actively pimping out its own women. I guess I gave that government too much credit.

Yes, and he has some other 8.0+ dramas as well.

But judging from your choice of avatar, I'm not very surprised that we agree.

TEST

For the record, Mobius is the fifth BJT-driven vehicle to receive a 8.6+ MDL rating, with the others being New Life Begins (8.6), You Are My Hero (8.6), The First Frost (8.9), & Reset (9.0).

Dear @Rohi, @DebraFreeman, & @Amastris Dratwka:


Don't pick a fight that you cannot finish. And if you're going to start something, don't delete what you say when you get owned & run away with your tails between your legs.

If you try to deny, keep in mind I took screenshots of your fighting words.

Yeah, that's what I thought, @DebraFreeman.

Just another fake internet tough guy & bully that cowardly deletes their ethnocentric & xenophobic comments when challenged by an intellectual superior.

Telling (non-White) offended parties how & what they can and cannot be offended by is so on-brand for you MAGA & Trump supporters.

This is funny. Your Indian government cannot even erase industrial and human waste (from open defec@tion) in your "sacred" rivers, but the Chinese government can erase everything about YML from the internet.

If the Chinese government is erasing everything about him, why can anyone google (real or fake news) about him right now? Why are C-netizens discussing YML on Chinese social media at this very moment?

I know you BTS army are incapable of any original thought of your own, but blindly & mindlessly regurgitating this koreaboo nonsense is suprising even by your anti-intellectual standards.

And by governmental "suppression," do you mean something like how for decades, the South Korean government secretly tried to hide pimping out their own women as "comfort women" to US military grunts? (Not fake military grunts like your BTS "army," but the real U.S. army.)

Keep in mind the South Korean government was doing this at the same time their women were seeking redress & reparation for having been forced to be "comfort women" by Japanese soldiers during WWII. Ridiculously hypocritical, just like koreaboos such as yourself.
